1. 0:01Tough times have arrived. Following the
2. 0:03RAM, graphics cards have also increased
3. 0:04in price, which was quite expected.
4. 0:07And if exactly a year ago, when I filmed
5. 0:08a similar video for 100k, you could
6. 0:10build a PC with a Ryzen 7500F + 5060,
7. 0:11now for that same amount, you could, for
8. 0:13example, pack a suitcase and go on a
9. 0:15trip.
10. 0:16But seriously, many think that building
11. 0:18a computer is a dubious endeavor now,
12. 0:19and it's time to wait until prices drop
13. 0:21. But waiting is almost always a losing
14. 0:23position. Hardware has only been getting
15. 0:25more expensive lately. And besides
16. 0:26neural networks, the reason for this is
17. 0:28also the political and economic
18. 0:29situation in the world. But this doesn't
19. 0:31mean at all that you can't build a
20. 0:33decent PC for a reasonable amount of
21. 0:34money now. Yes, you will definitely
22. 0:36spend more money for the same
23. 0:37performance than a year ago. But if you
24. 0:39are well-versed in hardware and have a
25. 0:41basic understanding of the market, this
26. 0:43overpayment can be minimized.
27. 0:45And in this video, I will help you
28. 0:46figure it out, tell you about the best
29. 0:48and current hardware for building a PC
30. 0:50without extra overpayments: graphics
31. 0:51cards, processors, cooling, motherboards
32. 0:53, RAM, SSDs, and I'll even touch on
33. 0:55power supplies.
34. 0:56I will also talk about execution, all
35. 0:59the nuances, pitfalls, and so on. In
36. 1:01short, all the info so you don't end up
37. 1:02building junk. So be sure to like this
38. 1:05video, leave a comment, subscribe to the
39. 1:07channel, and join my Telegram and VK
40. 1:09groups. There you can order a personal
41. 1:12selection of components for your goals
42. 1:13and budget. This is if you don't want to
43. 1:15spend a ton of time figuring it out
44. 1:17yourself. For a small fee, I will select
45. 1:19the hardware for you, evaluate and edit
46. 1:21your build, answer all your questions,
47. 1:23and suggest what and where is cheaper to
48. 1:24buy. There is also a PC assembly service
49. 1:27, which will also save you from
50. 1:28headaches and wasted time. You get a
51. 1:30fully configured and ready-to-use PC.
52. 1:33And sometimes computers appear in stock
53. 1:35there that you can buy at a good price.
54. 1:37All links are in the description. And we
55. 1:39are beginning.
56. 1:40And we will start with graphics cards up
57. 1:42to 20,000. And here there are actually
58. 1:44only two adequate options. The first
59. 1:45option is the RX 5600 XT.
60. 1:48For example, if you take Nvidia graphics
61. 1:49cards in this budget, it will be the
62. 1:5116th series, which lags significantly in
63. 1:53performance. And the second option is
64. 1:55the graphics card that I have been
65. 1:56constantly recommending for many years
66. 1:58now. It is the RX 6600.
67. 2:00And a good price for it on Avito would
68. 2:02be around 13,000, but at the moment it
69. 2:04sells on average for 18-19.
70. 2:06And that, of course, is sad. You can
71. 2:08also consider the RX 6650 XT, but that's
72. 2:10already in the budget up to 30,000. It's
73. 2:12a bit pricey, of course, but it will be
74. 2:14more powerful than the 3060, while
75. 2:16remaining cheaper because it has less
76. 2:18memory. I'll show a good model on the
77. 2:20screen.
78. 2:21As for the 3060, it's worth considering
79. 2:23up to 30k if you plan to use your PC for
80. 2:25work tasks as well, because 12GB of VRAM
81. 2:28on an Nvidia card for 30,000 right now
82. 2:30is actually not bad, unfortunately.
83. 2:32And you can get it in any two-fan
84. 2:34configuration. But again, purely for
85. 2:36gaming, AMD cards will be better for the
86. 2:38same money. For instance, the RX 6700 XT
87. 2:41also has 12GB, and its raw performance
88. 2:43is significantly higher. You can see a
89. 2:45good model for the 6700 XT on the screen
90. 2:48. However, I wouldn't buy the 7600 XT.
91. 2:50It's actually weaker than the 6700 XT,
92. 2:52even though it has 16GB of memory. And
93. 2:54because of that, of course, it ends up
94. 2:55being more expensive.
95. 2:56The memory capacity is tempting, but
96. 2:58this card won't fully utilize it in
97. 2:59games, and AMD cards aren't great for
98. 3:01professional work yet.
99. 3:03Besides, the card itself is flawed. On
100. 3:04most models, the hotspot just melts, so
101. 3:07I wouldn't recommend buying it. Now, if
102. 3:09you want an Nvidia card in roughly the
103. 3:11same budget, look at the 3060 Ti.
104. 3:14It only has 8GB of VRAM, but its
105. 3:16performance is more than relevant, even
106. 3:18compared to the 6700 XT.
107. 3:21As an affordable option for online games
108. 3:22, it's a really great fit. And as for
109. 3:24graphics cards under 20k, that's
110. 3:26probably it. The 20-series isn't worth
111. 3:28considering. They are old, mined-out,
112. 3:30barely alive cards that are also sold at
113. 3:32high prices. And of course, this also
114. 3:35applies to the 10-series, like the 1080
115. 3:37Ti. So, graphics cards up to 50,000.
116. 3:40You can pick up a 3070 right away. It
117. 3:42will be an excellent option for a budget
118. 3:43PC. It costs between 30,000 and 33,000.
119. 3:47You could also get a 4060 if you want
120. 3:48something newer, but it will be a bit
121. 3:50more expensive and weaker, though the
122. 3:51card itself is newer.
123. 3:53If you want something even newer, get a
124. 3:554060 Ti, but it will cost around 40,000
125. 3:58.
126. 3:58As for the 3080 and 3080 Ti, you have to
127. 4:00look at the situation, or more
128. 4:02specifically, the price tag. A 10GB 3080
129. 4:04for under 40,000 would be a perfectly
130. 4:07decent choice.
131. 4:08The main thing is to find a healthy unit
132. 4:10, because while the card is good in
133. 4:12terms of performance, it has a high TDP
134. 4:14and is getting old, so only buy top-tier
135. 4:16models after testing.
136. 4:18But the 3080 Ti is already selling for
137. 4:20over 50,000. And that is not just
138. 4:22expensive; it is unreasonable. When it
139. 4:24comes to gaming, you can even get an RX
140. 4:276800 XT for a bit less. It falls
141. 4:29slightly behind in performance and its
142. 4:31technology is older, but it has more
143. 4:32memory. It should also only be purchased
144. 4:34in top-tier versions. The Intel Arc B580
145. 4:36also has its place, although to me, it's
146. 4:38a controversial graphics card because
147. 4:40it's quite raw by nature. The software
148. 4:42is limited, there are plenty of hoops to
149. 4:43jump through, and much more. I talked
150. 4:45about them in more detail in my last
151. 4:47video.
152. 4:48In general, for people who want
153. 4:49everything to work as stably as possible
154. 4:51right out of the box with every feature
155. 4:53included, I wouldn't recommend this card
156. 4:55, because it will be hard to get used to
157. 4:56Intel cards, especially the software,
158. 4:58and especially if you've been using
159. 5:00NVIDIA or AMD before.
160. 5:02But it's not all that bad here. It has
161. 5:04huge pros that balance things out a bit
162. 5:06. That would be a nice price and 12 GB
163. 5:09of VRAM. And for this level of
164. 5:11performance, these are the cheapest 12
165. 5:13GB you can get. By the way, it's
166. 5:14completely sold out at DNS, where it
167. 5:16cost 45,000. That's not exactly cheap
168. 5:18for it, right? But on Avito, you can
169. 5:20still find the B580 for a little over
170. 5:2230,000 in a top-tier version and in
171. 5:24like-new condition. So, whatever the
172. 5:26software might be like, at that price,
173. 5:27you can put up with it. Plus, in
174. 5:29professional applications, this card
175. 5:31performs really stably and quite
176. 5:33decently, but again, it's definitely not
177. 5:35for everyone. Although 8GB cards like
178. 5:37the 5060 and 5060 Ti aren't for anyone
179. 5:40at all. They cost an absolute fortune.
180. 5:42And they have no future prospects.
181. 5:44You could consider them used on Avito,
182. 5:46but even then, it's still expensive.
183. 5:48In that case, you'd be better off
184. 5:49getting an RX 7600 XT 16GB, which you
185. 5:51could still pick up new on Avito for
186. 5:5237-38,000.
187. 5:53Actually, you can't anymore; they've
188. 5:55gone up in price and are selling for 40k
189. 5:56+. Well, and under 50k, there's also the
190. 5:58used 7700 XT. It has, by the way, gone
191. 6:00up significantly in price on Avito. You
192. 6:02can buy one now for under 45,000.
193. 6:04And it's still a reasonable option
194. 6:06because the card is relatively new,
195. 6:08hassle-free, and its performance is on
196. 6:11par with the 4070, which you can no
197. 6:13longer buy for under 50k. Well, and
198. 6:15moving on to graphics cards costing over
199. 6:1750,000.
200. 6:18First, let's go over the used market.
201. 6:20And here I wanted to touch upon Nvidia's
202. 6:2140-series specifically. Right now,
203. 6:23everyone is fawning over this 40-series
204. 6:25, saying who needs the 50-series anyway
205. 6:28. Just get a 40-series, save a ton of
206. 6:30cash, and get a decent card. And
207. 6:32honestly, there is some truth to that,
208. 6:34but not as much as one would like. Take
209. 6:35the 4070, for example.
210. 6:37It sells on Avito for an average of
211. 6:3963,000, but there's the 5060 Ti, also on
212. 6:41Avito, but new for 70,000.
213. 6:43You can find it for 65,000 if you buy
214. 6:45used. Yes, there is a difference in
215. 6:47price here.
216. 6:48And you will overpay for the 5060 Ti,
217. 6:49but for that extra cost, you aren't just
218. 6:51getting a newer series, no, you're also
219. 6:53getting 4 GB more memory.
220. 6:55And if you think about it, the 5060 Ti
221. 6:57in this comparison will even be cheaper
222. 6:58, because the rise in graphics card
223. 7:00prices happened precisely due to memory
224. 7:01getting more expensive. And paying 5 to
225. 7:047,000 for 4 GB is a good deal. Plus, you
226. 7:07get the bonus of the card being new,
227. 7:09even if it's from Avito. But if you buy
228. 7:11a used 5060 Ti, there's almost no price
229. 7:13difference left. It’s pretty much the
230. 7:14same story if you take the 4070 Super
231. 7:16and the 5070.
232. 7:17In the end, it’s more profitable to get
233. 7:19the 5070.
234. 7:21You only overpay by 5,000, but having
235. 7:22the 5070 is still nicer, at the very
236. 7:24least because of the new technologies,
237. 7:26and even the existing ones will provide
238. 7:27some advantage.
239. 7:29We will talk about these new
240. 7:30technologies a little later. But as for
241. 7:32the 4070 Ti and 4070 Ti Super, yes, you
242. 7:34can and should buy them if you want to
243. 7:36save as much as possible and get an
244. 7:38Nvidia card.
245. 7:40The 4070 Ti will be faster than the 5070
246. 7:41, although the cost is roughly the same
247. 7:43if you buy both options used.
248. 7:45And the 4070 Ti Super is actually an
249. 7:47ideal choice. It costs around 80,000 on
250. 7:49Avito.
251. 7:50If you don't go for the absolute
252. 7:51top-tier versions. And the performance
253. 7:53is somewhere between the 5070 and the
254. 7:555070 Ti. And regarding the design,
255. 7:58starting with the 4070 Super, you should
256. 8:00only get the triple-fan versions. I
257. 8:02can't even think of any outright bad
258. 8:04designs.
259. 8:05By the way, there is also the 4080 Super
260. 8:07, which is also sold at a relatively
261. 8:09good price.
262. 8:10It is better to get it in top-tier
263. 8:11versions. And basically, that’s where
264. 8:13the used market options end. And in
265. 8:15general, I know that there are many
266. 8:16people who can't stand used components.
267. 8:18This happens for various reasons. Some
268. 8:20don't know much about it, don't know how
269. 8:22to check hardware, are afraid of being
270. 8:23scammed, and so on. And there are people
271. 8:25who just love new hardware and don't buy
272. 8:27used purely on principle. Or perhaps
273. 8:29because there is no warranty. I
274. 8:30understand you perfectly well. That is
275. 8:32why we will now move on to new graphics
276. 8:33cards. And in my latest videos, I said
277. 8:35this: if you are building a PC for
278. 8:37gaming, then rock-solid, get AMD, as it
279. 8:39is much more cost-effective. And nothing
280. 8:41much has changed even now. AMD graphics
281. 8:43cards are still much more cost-effective
282. 8:45, but Nvidia has introduced DLSS 3.5,
283. 8:47which has had incredible hype. And
284. 8:49literally with one click, it transforms
285. 8:51this picture into this one. And this is
286. 8:54not some throwaway AI junk or even a
287. 8:55TikTok filter. It is a really cool
288. 8:57technology that significantly improves
289. 8:59visuals even in old games that were
290. 9:01painful to look at. And this happens
291. 9:03purely due to lighting. And as Huang
292. 9:05says, this technology will only work on
293. 9:07the RTX 50 series. Let's comment on the
294. 9:09video.
295. 9:10Huang has already backtracked and stated
296. 9:12that DLSS 5 will officially work on the
297. 9:1440-series as well, but the 50-series
298. 9:15remains the priority, and they will only
299. 9:17optimize the technology for that for now
300. 9:18.
301. 9:19However, modders have already extracted
302. 9:21it into a separate program, and now DLSS
303. 9:235 can be run on 40 and 30-series cards,
304. 9:25and even on AMD GPUs. But there is a
305. 9:28catch. Besides the technology turning
306. 9:31this image into this, it also turns this
307. 9:34FPS into this. And this is on a 5090,
308. 9:36which actually has at least some
309. 9:38optimization. Well, or rather, it was
310. 9:40supposed to. So it's not hard to guess
311. 9:42that 40-series and especially 30-series
312. 9:44cards will suffer even more in terms of
313. 9:46FPS, and on AMD cards, there is
314. 9:48basically no FPS at all. In short, I'm
315. 9:49saying all this because now, when
316. 9:51choosing a graphics card, it might be
317. 9:52worth considering DLSS 5. And now, even
318. 9:54at an overpriced rate, the 50-series
319. 9:56might be relevant for gaming. Yes, the
320. 9:58technology is still raw and unoptimized
321. 10:00, but I think it will be polished, and
322. 10:02in time, DLSS 5 will be perfected, just
323. 10:04like it was with ray tracing, for
324. 10:05example. Besides, NVIDIA's other
325. 10:07technologies work better in games than
326. 10:09AMD's. Frame generation, for instance,
327. 10:11is just night and day. So, whether it's
328. 10:13worth overpaying for all these gaming
329. 10:15technologies is, of course, up to you to
330. 10:17decide.
331. 10:18And if you want to build a gaming PC
332. 10:20while spending as little money as
333. 10:21possible, we still look toward AMD.
334. 10:23If you want the cheapest option for
335. 10:25online games or Full HD single-player
336. 10:28titles, take the 8GB RX 9060 XT. Because
337. 10:30a 5060 Ti with 8GB for 60k is just
338. 10:32unreasonable. And a 5060 for the same
339. 10:3450k will be just plain weaker. But if
340. 10:36you want to play in Quad HD, then take
341. 10:39the 9070 or 9070 XT. The 9070 XT is,
342. 10:41let's say, an analog to the 5070 Ti, but
343. 10:44it costs what the 5070 Ti used to cost
344. 10:46before the price hikes. So it's a good
345. 10:48alternative. Get these with three fans
346. 10:50from the models you see on the screen.
347. 10:53And if the PC is being built for work
348. 10:55tasks as well, or exclusively for work—
349. 10:57software, neural networks, rendering,
350. 10:58and so on—then you have to buy a "green
351. 11:00" card no matter what, whether from a
352. 11:02reseller or a store, because the
353. 11:03difference between AMD and Nvidia in
354. 11:05such tasks is sometimes simply colossal
355. 11:07, and this is a hardware-level advantage
356. 11:08.
357. 11:10Even a 5060 Ti will be more productive
358. 11:12in many scenarios than a 9070 XT. And,
359. 11:14of course, I'm not talking about some
360. 11:16basic video editing here, although even
361. 11:17there Nvidia will be noticeably faster.
362. 11:19I'm talking about working with neural
363. 11:20networks, rendering, and so on.
364. 11:22And for this very reason, people who
365. 11:24have the means and know they need an
366. 11:26Nvidia card will still buy Nvidia, no
367. 11:28matter the cost, because they understand
368. 11:30what they are paying for.
369. 11:32But then again, there are professional
370. 11:33tasks where the difference between
371. 11:35NVIDIA and AMD is either minimal or
372. 11:36non-existent.
373. 11:37You have to look at each situation
374. 11:39individually. As for the 50-series
375. 11:40graphics cards in the 50+ budget range,
376. 11:42you can probably take just about
377. 11:44anything. In terms of design, for the
378. 11:465060 Ti and 5070, you can just get the
379. 11:48cheapest triple-fan models. However, for
380. 11:50the 5070 and above, it’s better to get
381. 11:52models that feature a vapor chamber.
382. 11:54Although, regarding the 5070, there are
383. 11:55a couple of good options without one as
384. 11:57well. I will display all the information
385. 11:59on the screen. Well, that’s probably it
386. 12:00for the graphics cards. If anything is
387. 12:02unclear regarding the models or the
388. 12:03cards themselves, ask questions in the
389. 12:05comments, and I’ll try to answer. Now,
390. 12:07let’s move on to processors. Right now,
391. 12:09there are three sockets in the meta: AM4
392. 12:11, AM5, and LGA 1700. And we will go from
393. 12:13the cheapest to the most expensive.
394. 12:14Socket AM4. It is currently the best one
395. 12:17to use for building budget PCs, and the
396. 12:18starting option is the Ryzen 5 5600.
397. 12:20I’ll say right away, there is no point
398. 12:22in going lower. The Ryzen 5 3600 and
399. 12:245500 have gone up in price and cost
400. 12:25almost the same now. That is why the
401. 12:27entry-level processor is now the 5600. I
402. 12:29used it myself for many years. Video
403. 12:31editing, basic work tasks, gaming—it
404. 12:33handled everything at a decent level. So
405. 12:35, from my own experience, I can say it
406. 12:36is the most budget-friendly all-purpose
407. 12:38processor. And no, I haven’t forgotten
408. 12:40that the 12400F exists.
409. 12:41It’s just that a build with it will turn
410. 12:42out more expensive. And purely in terms
411. 12:44of gaming, AMD chips are more
412. 12:45interesting due to the larger cache size
413. 12:47. But you might say that the 12400F
414. 12:49offers a good upgrade path. Generally,
415. 12:51yes, but there are also some decent
416. 12:53options on AM4. For example, you can
417. 12:55install a 5700X if you want a more
418. 12:57serious processor for professional tasks
419. 12:59.
420. 13:00Many people, by the way, build from
421. 13:02scratch with it purely for gaming, which
422. 13:04is strange since the 5700X, when
423. 13:05compared to the 5600, shows almost the
424. 13:07same FPS in games, yet the price tag is
425. 13:08different, so it only makes sense to
426. 13:10install if you want to increase
427. 13:11performance in work tasks.
428. 13:14After all, two extra cores will
429. 13:15certainly do their job. And for gaming
430. 13:17on AM4, there is also an upgrade. I’m
431. 13:19talking about the 5700X3D.
432. 13:21I’ve been mentioning it for several
433. 13:23videos in a row because it really is a
434. 13:25top-tier option. Yes, the price of the
435. 13:275700X3D isn't low either, and that is
436. 13:28probably the reason I recommend it more
437. 13:30as an upgrade option rather than a
438. 13:32processor for building from scratch.
439. 13:34Well, that’s all for AM4 for now. Next
440. 13:36is LGA 1700. And it’s no longer as
441. 13:39interesting as it used to be. The
442. 13:4114600KF, which gave this socket a second
443. 13:43life, has become much more expensive and
444. 13:44now costs around thirty thousand.
445. 13:47By the way, when I mention the 14600KF,
446. 13:49I also include the 13600KF, which is
447. 13:51virtually identical, differing only in
448. 13:53turbo frequency, yet costs a couple of
449. 13:55thousand less.
450. 13:56And they still remain decent processors
451. 13:59even at that price. Though right now, I
452. 14:01would only buy them if I were building a
453. 14:03versatile PC or one purely for work.
454. 14:05Actually, the 12600KF is also worth
455. 14:07considering as a simpler and cheaper
456. 14:09option. And then there’s the trendiest,
457. 14:11most promising, youthful, and currently
458. 14:12the most inaccessible yet desirable
459. 14:14socket: AM5.
460. 14:15There is a huge number of processors for
461. 14:17this socket, but in reality, only about
462. 14:19five or six are interesting, including
463. 14:21versatile chips that can handle
464. 14:22professional tasks. If we are talking
465. 14:24about gaming options, the entry-level
466. 14:25processor would be the 7500F.
467. 14:27Yes, there is the 8400F, which allows
468. 14:29you to enter the AM5 ecosystem with
469. 14:31lower costs, but it’s not a full-fledged
470. 14:33processor, as it’s cut down in cache and
471. 14:35PCI lanes. Besides, the problem with AM5
472. 14:37right now is clearly not the price of
473. 14:38the processors. They are actually priced
474. 14:40quite reasonably, unlike the RAM,
475. 14:41graphics cards, and SSDs. Therefore, we
476. 14:43start with the Ryzen 7500F. Next up is
477. 14:45arguably the best AM5 processor in terms
478. 14:48of price-to-FPS ratio: the 7800X3D.
479. 14:51Everything between the 7500F and the
480. 14:537800X3D doesn't really make much sense.
481. 14:55Maybe the 7700X, but that's more of a
482. 14:58versatile processor. Although it also
483. 15:00looks quite good purely for gaming. And
484. 15:02the widely loved 9700X is just baffling
485. 15:04.
486. 15:05Paying this much for it when the
487. 15:07magnificent 7800X3D is available for
488. 15:08that much is just a really bad move.
489. 15:10Next is the 9800X3D. There is a decent
490. 15:13performance boost, for sure, but man,
491. 15:14the overpayment is disproportionately
492. 15:16higher. This is purely for
493. 15:17cyber-athletes who are squeezing out
494. 15:19every last frame. And, of course, those
495. 15:20who have the money. As for the 9850X3D,
496. 15:23it’s just an overclocked 9800X3D for a
497. 15:25lot more cash. Even though there is
498. 15:27practically no FPS gain. In general, for
499. 15:2999%of gamers, the 7800X3D will be enough
500. 15:31, with a huge margin for many years to
501. 15:33come. There are also universal machines
502. 15:36, beastly processors like the 9950X3D
503. 15:39and 9950X3D2.
504. 15:41But that is definitely on the high-end,
505. 15:42luxury side. These chips are capable of
506. 15:44handling demanding work tasks, games,
507. 15:46and basically anything else. All in all
508. 15:47, we’ll run through all the processors
509. 15:49point by point, considering the state of
510. 15:51the market. Plus, we’ll touch on cooling
511. 15:53. We build PCs under 150k on AM4. If
512. 15:56it’s purely for games, then the Ryzen
513. 15:585600. If you need versatility, the 5700X
514. 16:00.
515. 16:01And if anyone thinks that, say, the 5600
516. 16:03would be too weak for this budget,
517. 16:05that’s not the case. It will, in
518. 16:07principle, handle all the graphics cards
519. 16:08that fit within this budget. Ideally,
520. 16:10put a 7900 XT 16GB in there, and that
521. 16:12would be a near-perfect balance.
522. 16:14Although, in principle, it would pull a
523. 16:167900 GRE or 4070 too, but it’s better
524. 16:19not to. As a cooler for the Ryzen 5600,
525. 16:21any decent four-pipe tower cooler will
526. 16:23do. For example, the DeepCool AG400 or
527. 16:26ID-Cooling SE-224-XTS.
528. 16:29For the 5700X, we use a six-pipe tower,
529. 16:31for example, the DeepCool AK or AG620.
530. 16:34But that will be overkill, because under
531. 16:36full load with such coolers, it doesn't
532. 16:37even heat up to 60 ° C.
533. 16:39Now regarding processors, if you're
534. 16:41building a PC for work on a similar
535. 16:43budget, go with the 13600K or 14600KF on
536. 16:45DDR4. And why do I say they are for work
537. 16:48, even though they are actually
538. 16:49excellent for gaming? Because for gaming
539. 16:51builds, they have become too expensive.
540. 16:53Therefore, if we use them, it ends up
541. 16:55being at the expense of the graphics
542. 16:56card. Or you have to stick with the same
543. 16:58level graphics card but increase the
544. 16:59budget. Although, if the budget has to
545. 17:01be increased, it's better to build on
546. 17:03AM5 instead. Here, for example, are the
547. 17:05prices for three builds on three sockets
548. 17:07with a 7900 XT 16GB graphics card. And
549. 17:09as we can see, AM5 isn't really that
550. 17:11much more expensive than LGA1700. And
551. 17:13yes, the system on a 14600KF will
552. 17:14certainly be more powerful than one on a
553. 17:167500F.
554. 17:17But AM5 is, in principle, a limitless
555. 17:19prospect for upgrades, while the 14600KF
556. 17:22on LGA1700 is basically the end of the
557. 17:24line. So, think about it.
558. 17:26In general, for AM5, the entry-level
559. 17:28processor is the 7500F, the golden mean
560. 17:30is the 7800X3D, the gaming top is the
561. 17:329800X3D, and the universal tops are the
562. 17:349950X3D and X3D2.
563. 17:36And for pure work, the 7900X and 9950X;
564. 17:38for a 7500F, use a five or six-pipe
565. 17:41tower cooler. It used to be that four
566. 17:43was enough, but in newer revisions, this
567. 17:45processor heats up more.
568. 17:47For X3D processors, I would install
569. 17:49liquid cooling, at least some
570. 17:51inexpensive DeepCool LE or LS360, or if
571. 17:53you want air, an Assassin.
572. 17:55Eight-core chips can, in principle,
573. 17:57still be cooled with air, but for twelve
574. 17:58and sixteen-core processors, it’s water
575. 18:00cooling only. And even then, under water
576. 18:02, many units out of the box will heat up
577. 18:04to 90-95 ° C in synthetic tests.
578. 18:07So, ideally, it is best to manually tune
579. 18:09all top-tier processors via PBO. By the
580. 18:11way, regarding liquid coolers, here is a
581. 18:13full list of good options for different
582. 18:15budgets. I will say right away, in my
583. 18:16experience, the cooling performance,
584. 18:18i.e., the heat dissipation, is roughly
585. 18:20the same for all decent liquid coolers.
586. 18:22It is clear that some are slightly
587. 18:23better and some worse, but it is all
588. 18:25insignificant.
589. 18:26The difference between an expensive and
590. 18:27a cheap AIO cooler will likely be in
591. 18:29build quality, noise levels, reliability
592. 18:31, the presence of an LCD screen, and the
593. 18:32like.
594. 18:34Let's move straight on to motherboards.
595. 18:36We'll start with AM4. And here, the only
596. 18:37chipset we're interested in is the B550
597. 18:39.
598. 18:40Since demand for this socket is growing
599. 18:42, these boards aren't exactly cheap
600. 18:43right now.
601. 18:44In general, good options without
602. 18:46unnecessary overpayments would be the
603. 18:49Gigabyte B550M DS3H and B550M Aorus
604. 18:51Elite.
605. 18:52You could also add the MSI Pro VDH, but
606. 18:54it's more expensive and actually simpler
607. 18:55in terms of power delivery, so, well,
608. 18:57it's not really worth it. Overall, these
609. 18:59two boards are enough for all the good
610. 19:01AM4 socket processors. 5600, 5600X,
611. 19:045700X, 5700X3D. Everything works just
612. 19:07fine.
613. 19:08As for full-sized boards like the MSI
614. 19:10MPG B550 Gaming Plus, you can definitely
615. 19:12get one if you need more functionality,
616. 19:14such as more USB ports, various headers
617. 19:17on the board, and so on.
618. 19:19It also has a better power delivery
619. 19:20system, but that's overkill, so it's
620. 19:22just a nice bonus. But the price, of
621. 19:23course, is a bit steep. Next up is Intel
622. 19:25LGA 1700. Here, as usual, B760 on DDR4
623. 19:29is our go-to. I'll say right away that
624. 19:31you need to look for a board with a good
625. 19:33power delivery system, as not every B760
626. 19:35will feel comfortable with something
627. 19:36like a 14600KF. Anyway, to keep things
628. 19:38brief, I'll put the full list of boards
629. 19:40for this socket on the screen. And that
630. 19:41leaves the AM5 socket. Here we have
631. 19:43three interesting chipsets. Those are
632. 19:46B850, X870, and X870E.
633. 19:49For 95%of people, a B850 motherboard
634. 19:51will be enough, whether it's for a
635. 19:53gaming PC or a general-purpose one. I'll
636. 19:55say right away that there's not much
637. 19:57point in considering B650, since the
638. 19:59price isn't much lower and sometimes
639. 20:01it's even higher.
640. 20:02For example, if you take my favorite
641. 20:04ASRock B850 Pro RS Wi-Fi, it will be
642. 20:06even cheaper than many B650 boards.
643. 20:08So, think about that. Plus, on B650,
644. 20:10there's still the conditional lack of
645. 20:12PCIe 5.0 for the graphics card. That's
646. 20:14why I would go with B850, as it
647. 20:16officially supports PCIe 5.0. There are
648. 20:18also some minor advantages, for example
649. 20:21, in the number of ports, SSD slots, and
650. 20:23so on. I'll put the full list of B850
651. 20:25boards on the screen. Basically, all
652. 20:27these motherboards are enough for
653. 20:29absolutely any processor on the AM5
654. 20:31socket. But sometimes, for certain
655. 20:32professional tasks, you need more
656. 20:34serious motherboards. For example, where
657. 20:36you need to connect specific equipment
658. 20:38or if you need to install multiple PCIe
659. 20:405.0 SSDs.
660. 20:41And if you want them not to take PCIe
661. 20:43lanes away from the graphics card,
662. 20:44you'll need to go for an X870 or even an
663. 20:46X870E chipset.
664. 20:48Not every motherboard is capable of this
665. 20:50, especially when it comes to the
666. 20:51standard X870.
667. 20:52It all depends on how many total PCIe
668. 20:54lanes the motherboard has and how they
669. 20:56are distributed. I won't dive too deep
670. 20:58into the technical side of things. I'll
671. 20:59just say that the cheapest motherboard
672. 21:02for two 5.0 SSDs without throttling the
673. 21:04graphics card will be the MSI X870
674. 21:06TOMAHAWK.
675. 21:08Such a motherboard will cost you about
676. 21:0930k, but if you pay a little extra,
677. 21:11which I recommend, you can get a
678. 21:12motherboard on the X870E, which already
679. 21:14comes with a dual chipset.
680. 21:17And you can fill such motherboards with
681. 21:19high-speed SSDs and enjoy a large number
682. 21:21of fast USB ports.
683. 21:23I will display a list of good
684. 21:24motherboards for professional tasks on
685. 21:26the screen.
686. 21:27Prices here are completely different, so
687. 21:29look based on your budget, your specific
688. 21:31tasks, and so on.
689. 21:33Actually, one could easily make a
690. 21:34separate video about motherboards, as
691. 21:37there are many nuances regarding PCB
692. 21:39layers, memory controllers, power phases
693. 21:41, their quality, and real quantity.
694. 21:43Because what you see in the
695. 21:44specifications, say, on the DNS website
696. 21:46, is far from always the truth. And in
697. 21:49this video, I won't talk about all that
698. 21:51, otherwise it would drag on
699. 21:52unrealistically long. But if you want me
700. 21:54to release a separate video on the topic
701. 21:56of motherboards, then write about it in
702. 21:57the comments. Subscribe to the channel
703. 21:59and, while you're at it, hit the like
704. 22:01button. Now let's move on to RAM. And
705. 22:04here, in principle, nothing has changed
706. 22:05. For AM4, take any RAM at 3200 or 3600
707. 22:08with the first timing of 16-18. On Intel
708. 22:11LGA1700 it's the same, but I want to
709. 22:13warn you that buying new memory on Avito
710. 22:15from Chinese no-name brands at a very
711. 22:18attractive price is a risky business. In
712. 22:20general, Avito is full of dubious offers
713. 22:22, and I'm not just talking about Chinese
714. 22:24memory. Basically, counterfeit brands
715. 22:26are also sold there in large quantities
716. 22:28, often cheaper than, for example,
717. 22:30memory from a store. In short, I highly
718. 22:32do not recommend buying such things.
719. 22:33It's unknown how long it will even last
720. 22:35, so it's better to overpay once than to
721. 22:37pay twice and end up paying more. Anyway
722. 22:39, for AM4 and LGA1700, install
723. 22:42brand-name, original 3200-3600 CL 16-18
724. 22:45memory.
725. 22:46Mostly these will be ADATA XPG and
726. 22:47G.Skill, but you can also take all sorts
727. 22:49of Apacer, Corsair, even Ardor Gaming,
728. 22:51and Kingston Fury, if buying in a store
729. 22:53.
730. 22:54Regarding memory capacity, orient
731. 22:55yourself based on your budget. You can
732. 22:57start by taking two 8GB sticks, and then
733. 22:59just add two more of the same later. At
734. 23:01the same time, it is better to decide on
735. 23:03a specific model and brand in advance so
736. 23:05that the new sticks are identical to the
737. 23:06old ones and work as stably as possible
738. 23:08. But if your budget allows, it's better
739. 23:10to take 32 GB right away.
740. 23:12As for AM5, in terms of memory specs,
741. 23:15now is not the time to be picky.
742. 23:18While we used to choose memory more
743. 23:20meticulously, looking for a minimum
744. 23:21frequency of 6,000, timings of 30-40-40
745. 23:23, and checking specific chip
746. 23:25manufacturers like A-die, B-die, M-die,
747. 23:26and so on, nowadays we just grab
748. 23:28whatever is simply more cost-effective,
749. 23:30because prices have gone up even further
750. 23:31.
751. 23:33Of course, even now, the ideal move is
752. 23:35to get 6,000 MHz memory with CL 30 to 36
753. 23:36.
754. 23:37But if, for instance, memory at 5,600
755. 23:39MHz CL 36 is cheaper, then take it
756. 23:41without a second thought. You won't lose
757. 23:43any meaningful FPS, but you will save
758. 23:45some money. As for capacity, you can't
759. 23:47really cut corners here. Just like with
760. 23:49DDR4.
761. 23:51If you install, say, one 16GB stick, as
762. 23:52many suggest, and later buy what seems
763. 23:54to be an identical one, it is far from
764. 23:56guaranteed that everything will run
765. 23:57stably because the revisions will likely
766. 23:59be different.
767. 24:00Memory chips can also differ, and DDR5
768. 24:03memory is very sensitive to these
769. 24:04factors. Not to mention that
770. 24:06single-channel mode is best avoided
771. 24:08entirely, even on DDR5.
772. 24:10So, what options do you have if you are
773. 24:11on a limited budget? You could, in
774. 24:13theory, buy two 8GB sticks for the time
775. 24:15being, then sell them later and buy two
776. 24:1716GB sticks. But that’s a lot of hassle
777. 24:19, considering you will notice a lack of
778. 24:21memory quite quickly—and you will notice
779. 24:23it quickly, believe me. It really is
780. 24:25better to save up for 32GB in two
781. 24:26modules right from the start. If that’s
782. 24:28not an option, then build on AM4.
783. 24:31And yes, by the way, on AM5, it is
784. 24:32better to install RAM using exactly two
785. 24:34modules.
786. 24:35Not four, because the motherboard memory
787. 24:37controllers just can't handle it.
788. 24:39Anyway, that seems to be it for RAM.
789. 24:40Next are the SSDs. And since the last
790. 24:43video, nothing has really changed here
791. 24:45either. If it’s just for gaming, then
792. 24:47grab a Kingston NV3.
793. 24:49If you have work tasks, such as video
794. 24:51editing or any work with large files,
795. 24:53then get drives with a DRAM buffer, for
796. 24:55example, the Kingston KC3000, Samsung
797. 24:57990 Pro, or Adata Legend 960.
798. 25:00These drives will be enough for
799. 25:01practically any task. But if you really
800. 25:03need the absolute fastest, you can look
801. 25:05at PCIe 5.0 SSDs. The best options would
802. 25:08be the Samsung 990 Pro (PCIe 5.0
803. 25:09equivalent), Adata Legend 970, and
804. 25:11Kingston Fury Renegade Gen5.
805. 25:14And finally, power supply units.
806. 25:15Actually, that is a topic for a separate
807. 25:16video that I have been planning to make
808. 25:18for a long time.
809. 25:19I can't cover all the nuances and fine
810. 25:21details of choosing a power supply in
811. 25:23this video because it's already running
812. 25:24quite long.
813. 25:26So, for now, I will just display a few
814. 25:28decent options on the screen. Of course
815. 25:30, these aren't all the good power
816. 25:31supplies that exist. It's more of a
817. 25:33temporary list. And if you do need a
818. 25:35full video on this topic, definitely let
819. 25:37me know in the comments. In general, if
820. 25:39anything about this video is unclear,
821. 25:41write it in the comments too, and I'll
822. 25:42try to answer. Well, that seems to be it
823. 25:44for the hardware.
824. 25:45Regarding prices, everything points to
825. 25:47the fact that they likely won't be
826. 25:48dropping anytime soon, unfortunately.
827. 25:50So there is no point in waiting for some
828. 25:52kind of miracle. Usually, those who wait
829. 25:53end up paying even more. So, guys, if
830. 25:56you need a PC, build it now.
831. 25:58Yes, you'll spend more money than if you
832. 26:00had built it a year ago, but at least
833. 26:02you won't lose time.
834. 26:03We only have one life, after all, so
835. 26:05time is much more valuable. But in my TG
836. 26:07and VK groups, you can order a custom
837. 26:08component list from me. And PCs in stock
838. 26:11also appear there at good prices. So, if
839. 26:13you need anything, go there and write to
840. 26:15me, I'm always in touch. All links are
841. 26:16in the description. Goodbye everyone.
